Hon. Joseph +. Mcdonald, Of In
diana, has always been a great favor
lite of The Democrat, and we are
pleased to find him nj this time an en-
thusiastic supporter of the admins
tration. The New York Star SAYS:
Ex-senator Mcdonald, of Indiana,
is not less positive in his opinion rs
10 the necessity for the denomination
Of Cleveland than other eminent dem
ocratS who have recently spoken on
the subject. He is sure that the Pres
ident is the choice of the democracy
OF Indiana, and that they admire his
conscientious independence and his
indisposition to curry favor with the
public at the expense of principle. On
the tariff issue the Senator speaks in
enthusiastic terms of the wisdom OF
the Ohio resolutions. 1t is evident
that "Old Saddlebags" is Of on,
mind with the great majority of tn,
democracy OF the country on all eur
rent questions"

done when compelled to take its
greedy clutches off from public prop

Friday. August IL, 1887.

The ways and means Of building up
a town is a subject which at the pres
ent time is being generally discussed
drought the country. That prosperity
comes TO the cities and villages which
help themselves is more fully realized
than ever before, and the people of
each community are, with few eX-
ceptions, looking to organized effort to
place themselves on the road to pros
perity. There are indications that the
smaller sized cities and towns from
this time forth will not suffer SO gen
orally from the absorbing tendency Of
the very large cities as they have in
years past; and it therefore behooves
the residents of the former places to
bcstir themselves and take advantage
Of the expected tide Of prosperity.
The people Of Mineral Point especially
should give this matter full consider
alton, and try to solve the problem Of
how to get and keep to the front in
the march Of material progress.
The following are the conclusions
of the Monroe Sentinel in regard to
booming a town:
THAT it requires something more
than building railways into, or through
a town to make it boom. That a
town may be doomed without rail
way, and may even succeed to pros
pcrity and have a healthful, solid
growth. That Il city may have too
many railways for its own good.
That railway companies do not build
railways TO help city or village; they
are built generally to help the com
pany to do more business, or to in
crease the value Of land held rs sub
sidy, or other franchises, etc. That a
town with half dozen railroads may
be Il dead town, unless its people do
something for themselves III the way
of building factories, making public
improvements and making it attract
i've as a home That Il few thousand
dollars put into practical use for the
benefit of the city is of really more
permanent utility than to give large
bonuses to railway corporations, who
may, or may not, cut you out at the
very next move on their chccllcrboard."
With laws which prevent unjust dis
elimination in freight charges towns
cannot be built up or killed out ut
the pleasure of railway corporations.
Upon natural advantages and the en-
terprisc of their own citizens does their
prosperity depend.
The Democrat hopes that the people
of Mineral Point will talk up the
matter of booming the solid old town,
which is still the greatest trading
point in southwestern Wisconsin, and
that they will not let the matter end
in talk either. Here we have enter
priSing wide awake business men and
men of capital So well mixed up that
If the right kind of new enterprises
should be taken hold of they could be
conducted most successfully. Let the
wheels Of greater business activity
be put in motion and prosperity will
follow
